Fort Wayne Police responded to a call of shots fired at 8:20 p.m. Monday in the 1300 block of Wabash Avenue, where a police officer saw a man run out of the rear of a residence, throw his arms up in the air, shout and run back into the residence, according to a police report.

Police tried to coax the man back outside but he refused. After hearing a shot fired inside the residence, the Emergency Services Team and Crisis Response Team responded to the barricaded subject situation. After their arrival, the man, Brijido Nieto Jr., 40, walked out of the house.
